Favorite iPhone apps revisited

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Back in August 2008, a mere month after the iPhone was released, I published my list of apps that I used.  I had quite a list back then and still have the personal rule that I won't have more than 4 pages of apps since it's too hard to find ...

The New Xbox Experience now playing

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

To my surprise I found a message in my email last night telling me that I had been selected to participate early in the new Xbox Experience.  This morning at around 11am I started up the Xbox 360 and sure enough, there was an update.  It provides a much more streamlined ...

The Littlest Sniper

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Happy Birthday Antonio! Our little guy turned 5 today and after a hard evening of gaming with Halo 3, he passed out playing an old favorite, Need For Speed Underground 2. He had such a tight clutch on the controller we had to tug hard to get it ...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

This Christmas was filled with all sorts of delights. From good times with family and friends to new XBox 360s, bikes, TVs and laptops. After dealing with the agonizingly inconsistent behavior of our Sony KP-51HW40 for over a year, we finally decided to replace it with a Samsung ...

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

So I got a new Dell Vostro 200 last week that I wanted to set up to start working a little more in depth with VMWare at home. We already use VMWare ESX extensively at work but I have a lot of old machines running as servers in my ...

Life After the Halo 3 Beta – The Final Game

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

We've been peppered with the Believe campaign and a slew of beverages in the cafeteria case at work, clix figures, and all sorts of other Halo 3 merch (see exhibits a and b). Most notable is the fact that I finally finished Halo 2 for the first time ...

Halo Rumblings

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

Looks like major changes are on the way for our favorite game. Two and a half years later, it is definitely still going strong in our household. Hard to believe, in the days where a game publisher will usually abandon a title after almost a year. First, there are ...

I’ve been running Firefly Mediaserver 2.4 (formerly mt-daapd) and Twonky Musicserver 2.8 for some time now in my home to stream music from my single audio repository to iTunes and my Netgear MP101 players. This past week we picked up an XBox 360 and wanted to take advantage of ...
